The registry, operated by the Utah Department rtf Corrections, tracks most sex criminals, allowing residents to discover if a sex offender lives nearby. But it finis to include offenses like aggravated murder, murder or manslaughter where sexual motivation is a factor. In addition, the registry fails to plea I June original charges.

"The fact that certain people arent being backed is a problem with the registry. Theres a lack of awareness.

The tracking begins once probation or parole starts and is in effect for 10 years for those who were placed on that status after July 1, 1996. Criminals who began probation or parole prior must register their whereabouts for five years.
